My grandson has a thinkpad, he wants to download minecraft. Before I purchase it for him,...

Hi, my name is , I'm an Independent Consultant and a member of the Xbox community like you. I understand your problem, don't worry I'm here to help you.

To know if Minecraft will run on a ThinkPad, it depends on whether the model meets the minimum requirements.

But it is possible for your grandson to download the trial version to check if the game is compatible;

I appreciate your patience, if you have more questions feel free to ask.

we would have to know the specifications of the laptop to know whether or not it would work. In theory yes, but the laptop has to be fast enough

Yeah My grandson has said he wants an Xbox one, I've said no because I wouldn't allow anything in a childs bedroom with a camera. I will buy him a different console. My Daughter can buy Xbox one for the living room.

Actually, Yes. My grandson just informed me he was getting updates this morning and I turned off everything before leaving for work.

Guess that'll each me to ask and him to inform me!!

Many thanks!

Many thanx for the reply, i don't play at all, but i like the idea of downloading the content for him on my silver account and hope he can share the DLC's. He really wants Minecraft, but he cannot buy it without the points, can i buy him a points voucher?
and can he redeem them on his account?, then he could download minecraft on his account.

I don't mind him downloading content, his account will naturally filter what he can and cant have it was how we credit points too his account which was the problem, he has been very patient after 6 weeks he is tearing his hair out, so thanks for the help
